Marak Apprentice Member # 4902	written Monday, October 10 2005 17:56 Profile #1 The short answer: Yes. The longer answer: you start off by getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% of an item's actual value when selling to vendors. You can incrase this value to roughly 60% by getting 16-20 points in Barter. Obviously, in order to "max out" your sell-to-vendor value, you need to give each PC 4 or 5 points in Barter. I'd also recommend doing it sooner rather than later; yes, you'll be poorer now, but it will make you much richer later, which is important if you want/need to buy new Spells, Level 2 Spells, Steel (or better) equipment, etc. -------------------- Your training was extensive...

You only need a relatively small amount to get the best possible selling prices from a few of them. 20 is probably overkill. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
